The defense lawyer for accused “rape cop” Kenneth Moreno spent a four-hour summation today trying to redefine his client in terms unindictable, even at one point calling him not the sharpest-shooting gun in the police locker.

“Ken is not a very sophisticated guy,” lawyer Joseph Tacopina told the five-woman, seven-man jury.

“He’s maybe a bit of a simpleton — you heard him testify. But didn’t he come away as honest, and a nice human being?” the lawyer asked.

And as for charges that Moreno raped a drunken, passed-out woman during four on-duty visits to her East Village apartment, the lawyer asked jurors to consider, again, the cop’s simple, unsophisticated denials on the witness stand.

“Did he come across as someone who would be capable of doing that?” Tacopina asked. “Does he come across as a rapist to you? That man who faced a barrage of questions, was berated, yelled at [by the prosecution, without] losing his cool?”

How about the sidewalk surveillance video showing the cops letting themselves in and out of the alleged victim’s East 13th Street apartment on the December 2008 morning when they were dispatched to help her out of her cab?

“Thank God for that video!” Tacopina told jurors, explaining that the victim crosses the sidewalk to her front door without stumbling, and in apparent conversation with Mata.

He also disputed whether the accuser was unconscious, despite her alcohol level.

“She’s not just drinking vodka — she was drinking Red Bulls and vodka,” Tacopina told jurors. “Five Red Bulls in one hour — don’t try that experiment at home. [The alleged victim] might have been drunk, but she’d be an awake drunk.”

Much of the closing arguments, though, consisted of attacks on the woman’s memory from that dark morning — a series of long blackouts, punctuated by what Tacopina derided as “vague” and “piecemeal” recollections.
